Some parents use separate apps to manage screen time, filter content and monitor location.

Verizon offers a simpler option with one app and two versions to choose from:

Verizon Family (Free)

Included with a Verizon mobile line, the Verizon Family app helps you:

  • View your child’s real-time location
  • See call and text activity on the Verizon network
  • Set basic time restrictions and usage limits

Verizon Family Plus ($14.99/month per line)

For families who want more controls, Verizon Family Plus adds advanced safety features, including:

  • Post-ride driving insights like hard braking, rapid acceleration and crash detection

Most US households that have streaming capabilities juggle four to five different subscription services—an average of 3.9 streaming apps alone, plus internet, phone, cable or satellite, and often music or gaming subscriptions. That’s a lot for any parent to keep track of.

Combining your child’s phone line with a Verizon Fios 1 Gig or 2 Gig internet plan helps put an end to the need to platform-hop just to manage your subscriptions. You can receive a $10/month credit toward one streaming perk, like Netflix & Max (With Ads) and pay for additional top streaming apps through your account so you have only one place to go if you want to cancel, upgrade or renew your streaming services.

One price, no surprise price hikes

And Verizon’s Best Value Guarantee means you can lock in your monthly rate (exclusive of taxes and fees) for three years with no surprise price hikes.
